Background Check

In partnership with our local government, American Red Cross and local churches, all AVDRN volunteers are required to have their name checked on the National Sex Offender list in order to receive an official AVDRN Yellow Badge and be able to purchase an AVDRN Volunteer Field Shirt. Volunteers with a sex offender offense on their record or convicted of any crimes against minors will not be able to receive an AVDRN badge or an official AVDRN shirt. Volunteers that have a felony charge on their record within 7 years will not be able to receive an AVDRN badge. A volunteer with a felony record may receive an AVDRN white badge after 7 years from the date of the felony.

Will my information be confidential?

AVDRN commits to you that your background check information is confidential. The approval process can take up to 24 hours. Once you have completed the online form successfully, you should see a “Thank You! Your background check has been completed” screen. If you chose the option to receive a copy of your background check, an email should be sent to you within 48 hours. AVDRN will let you know whether your background check was approved or not prior to receiving an AVDRN badge.

What offenses are considered in the background check process?

Below is a list of felony offenses that would hinder an individual from being certified if the offense has been under 7 years. If you have questions or if you do not pass the background check, please email admin@avdrn.org(Note: High security military personnel will need to call to give personal information in order to pass the background check).
